Although the top speed of these vessels is unknown, Quark suggested that after they engage the cloaking device that they leave at warp 8. It is unclear if this ship is actually capable of this speed or if Quark was speaking dramatically.

That same year, one of the stories Elim Garak told DoctorBashir to explain his exile from Cardassia, involved Garak ordering to shoot down a Cardassian shuttle with escaped Bajoran prisoners on board, but unfortunately, also the daughter of a prominent Cardassian official. (DS9: "The Wire")

Appendices

Appearances

Background information

First appearing in "Profit and Loss", the class was first identified in "Tribunal". The physical model for the Hideki-class was designed by Rick Sternbach and built by David Stipes. This class later appeared in the slightly modified CGI form during the seventh season episode "Tacking Into the Wind", where it was more clearly identified as such.

While in "Sacrifice of Angels" the Hideki and the Jem'Hadar attack ship were scaled to be of approximately the same size, in "Tacking Into the Wind" the Hideki was scaled to be considerably smaller than the attack ship. Visual Effects Supervisor David Stipes has stated that an overall length of 500 feet (150 meters) was generally used onscreen. [1]

Armament: Four or more spiral-wave disruptors; one medium aft disruptor wave cannon; possibly other weapons

Additionally, according to the Technical Manual, "One interesting note about the Cardassian fighter is that the basic platform seems to have been adapted from that of the USS Defiant, particularly in the forward hull notch, bridge morphology, and aft hull assembly. Starfleet is of the opinion that some classified design documentation may have been compromised."

Supplemental information

The designation of "pursuit vessel" may also refer to this class, as GulDukat described Cardassian pursuit vessels as being years ahead of Danube-class runabouts in "The Maquis, Part I". Based on the encounter between Evek and Miles O'Brien, this observation is inconclusive, but plausible, at least based on their appearances in the Dominion War.
